The Best Games Ever Podcast: The Punny Protagonists Edition
Hey there, fellow gamers! Welcome to the Best Games Ever Podcast, where we dive deep into the world of gaming and discuss the best games in various categories. Today, we have a special episode for you. We’re exploring the world of video game protagonists with hilariously punny names. Get ready for some laughs and maybe even a few facepalms!
Unleash the Puns!
Picture this: You’re playing a game, fully immersed in its world, when suddenly you come across a character with a name that makes you groan and chuckle at the same time. That’s what we’re talking about today. From Alan Wake to Miles Prower, there’s no shortage of video game protagonists with names that are, well, rubbish puns. Okay, maybe there aren’t loads of them, but there are enough to make this episode possible!
Now, Halloween might have passed, and we can’t do a Best Spooky Game That You Couldn’t Finish episode just yet. And Guy Fawkes night is still a couple of days away, so no Best Game That Makes Light Of Religious Persecution either. But fear not! We’ve got the next best thing. We’re linking this topic to the year’s best horror game, Alan Wake 2. Why? Because developer Remedy Entertainment has a knack for giving their characters the most entertainingly daft names, even in serious games with mature themes. It’s like they’re saying, “Hey, let’s have some fun while we save the world from darkness.”
But wait, what exactly is a pun? Why is it that when we say “talking skull,” we imagine something like Boney from Trap Door or Murray from Monkey Island? You know, the bleached skull of a dead person reanimated by supernatural means. Instead, we don’t think of the talking skull that we ourselves actually live in or the dozens of talking skulls we interact with every day. It’s a mystery, my gamer friends. And guess what? None of these questions will be answered in this episode. However, we will argue a lot, and we’re sure you’ll enjoy it!
Oh, and before we dive into the pun-filled madness, let’s acknowledge that Billcliffe’s internet sucks. He’s on a 90s-style satellite broadcast delay, which explains why we keep interrupting him and glaring at him expectantly. Northerners, am I right?
Special thanks to David Bulmer for performing “Jim’s Theme.” It’s the perfect soundtrack to our pun-filled adventure!
